Dongling City.
The Liuu family.
Jiang Yiming walked in the Liuu family’s backyard holding Little Dumpling’s hand.
Even though the place was Vibrant and filled with blooming flowers, he still had no interest in admiring it.
He had co to the Liuu family, his maternal grandparents’ ho, but he felt quite uneasy.
If it were when he was a child, he would cry and fuss to go ho.
But at this age, it was different.
He was already fifteen years old and knew he had grown up.
His mother’s feelings for her parents were identical to his feelings for his own parents.
So even though he had no feelings for this place, he didn’t say anything that would dampen the mood.
Just at that mont.
From not far away ca the sound of discussions and hurried, noisy footsteps.
"Have you heard? The Second Miss has brought that wild man back to the Liuu family again."
"Who is the Second Miss?"
"She’s the Clan Leader’s second daughter! It’s normal for Young Master Boming not to know because he was young then."
"Oh, it’s her!" The voice sneered: "I know! She foolishly gave up her status as a Liuu family legitimate daughter for so-called love and a commoner, even breaking off with her father, cutting off their so-called father-daughter relationship. What an idiot."
"What Young Master Boming says makes sense. If she weren’t an idiot, how could she have made that choice?"
"..."
"Xiao Liu, is that wild seed you ntioned in that courtyard?"
"Yes, Young Master Boming! That wild seed and his sister are in the backyard."
...
Backyard.
Listening to the vulgar words and the increasingly close footsteps coming from a distance.
Jiang Yiming frowned, his brows forming a line.
He promptly clenched his fist.
He was very familiar with one of the voices.
It was the boy who had injured his father at the gate before, whom he had punched away.
The next mont.
A dense crowd appeared in front of Jiang Yiming.
Leading them was a rather noble-looking fat man.
Wearing a brocade cloud robe and stepping on golden cloud boots.
In comparison to this man, Jiang Yiming’s patched clothes looked very shabby.
With a glance, Jiang Yiming saw that among the more than ten people following the noble-looking fat man, the boy who had fought him at the gate was there.
Based on his previous knowledge.
That boy was the son of Butler Liu.
He rely looked at that boy and a trace of disappointnt flashed in his expression.
A disappointnt with the Liuu family.
From his uncle’s earlier account, that son of the elderly Butler Liu was supposed to go receive twenty lashes.
Yet here he was, looking as lively as ever, not at all like soone who had received twenty lashes.
This made the little goodwill he had for the Liuu family disappear.
He then put his arm around Little Dumpling, letting him hide behind him.
"Brother——"
Little Dumpling shrank behind Jiang Yiming, holding onto his shirt’s corner, murmuring softly.
Hearing this, Jiang Yiming gently patted Little Dumpling’s head with his right hand.
Under the warmth of his palm, Little Dumpling’s fear lessened considerably.
"I heard you’re the wild seed from the countryside?" The quite noble-looking fat man stopped in front of Jiang Yiming, looking him up and down twice, and jealousy flashed in his eyes.
He was naturally fat and hence ugly.
In Dongling City, whenever those young ladies from prominent families saw him, their eyes showed deep disdain.
Over ti, it filled him with jealousy towards those handso and elegant n.
And Jiang Yiming, not only inherited Jiang Li’s looks but also Liuu Wanwan’s brows, along with a few of Jiang Ning’s charms.
Even dressed in ordinary clothing, the slender and tall boy was notable just standing there.
"Watch your mouth!" Jiang Yiming said coldly.
"Did I say anything dirty?" That fat man looked back at the crowd.
The son of Butler Liu behind him imdiately understood and said, "When did Young Master Boming say anything dirty, aren’t these just facts?"
"Did you hear that?" The fat man teased Jiang Yiming: "Aren’t I just stating facts?"
The crowd behind him erupted in laughter upon hearing this.
Witnessing this scene, Jiang Yiming involuntarily clenched his right fist, while his left hand reached behind to protect Little Dumpling.
After a mont.
The laughter subsided, but Jiang Yiming remained unmoved, looking at them with a calm expression.
"Coward!" The fat man sneered.
Jiang Yiming’s expression remained unchanged, calmly looking at them.
"Wild seed, Young Master Boming said you’re a coward!" The son of Butler Liu imdiately spoke up.
Upon hearing this.
Jiang Yiming gave the man a cold look.
The icy, murderous glare caused an involuntary chill to run through him.
Soon, that chill turned into rising anger.
He hadn’t forgotten, it was because of this family that his father was slapped hard by the Third Young Master.
And he himself was slapped hard by his father.
That’s why he beca angrier the more he thought about it back ho.
If he had offended a noble from the Liuu family, he wouldn’t dare harbor any resentnt from being slapped.
That’s just how servants should be.
But this situation was different.
In his eyes, Jiang Li and his family were re provincials.
Being slapped because of them was unbearable for his distorted mind, twisted by concerns of status and rank, which is why he instigated the Liuu family’s second branch’s Young Master Liu Boming to co here.
Because in the Liuu family, in his eyes, only Liu Boming was the most easily instigated.
The fattest and least intelligent, no different from a pig.
"Young Master Boming, look at this wild seed’s eyes," said the son of Butler Liu.
Upon hearing this.
The fat man looked at Jiang Yiming’s eyes and couldn’t help but laugh heartily.
"I’ve seen those eyes so many tis, always so angry, yet impotently so."
